Nothing Better

[Verse 1: Ben Gibbard] Will someone please call a surgeon, who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart that you're deserting For better company I can't accept that it's over And I will block the door, like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter Of a tied-game rivalry So, just say how to make it right And, I swear I'll do my best to comply Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together? [Verse 2: Jen Wood] I feel I must interject here You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself With these revisions and gaps in history So let me help you remember I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear Prepared a lecture On why I have to leave So, please back away and let me go - [Verse 3: Ben Gibbard] I can't my darling I love you so (Oh, oh) Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together (Tell me am I right?) [Jen Wood] Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures [Interlude: Jimmy Tamborello] [Ben Gibbard] I know that I have made mistakes And I swear I'll never wrong you again [Jen Wood] You've got allure, I can't deny But, you've had your chance so say goodbye Say goodbye
